Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“I cannot say enough kind things about Amanda Desnoyer and the care she gave me while helping me preplan my funeral. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure my wishes were handled with care and respect. Because of her, I now have peace of mind knowing everything is in place for my family.”
— Carol
“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Desnoyer Funeral Home for providing one of the smoothest and most compassionate funeral arrangements I have ever witnessed. Funerals are deeply painful experiences that can often bring a desire for solitude and quiet reflection. During such a difficult time, the Desnoyer team handled everything with grace, professionalism, and genuine care. They seamlessly accommodated a Super Bowl–sized crowd, yet still created a space where one could step away to reflect on a life beautifully lived. What stood out most was their welcoming spirit—joyfully opening their offices and back rooms for children to play, never once making it feel like those children, who were such an integral part of the gathering and vastly outnumbered the staff, were anything but a blessing. The team was gentle when needed, punctual, and even brought moments of lightness and humor at just the right times. If you’re in the difficult position of choosing a funeral home, know that Desnoyer will do everything they can to support you through a painful and fast-moving process. Their compassion, flexibility, and professionalism are unmatched”
— Frank Fajita
“I was thoroughly impressed by the small business charm that Desnoyer has truly mastered. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted by name and made to feel instantly at ease, even in what can often be an intimidating process. They know exactly when to make you laugh and how to create a stress-free, seamless experience. What stood out most was their patience and adaptability—matching our pace, coordinating with outside companies as needed, and making the entire planning process smooth and manageable. Desnoyer combines top-tier technical skills with genuine personal warmth, offering the kind of experience anyone would hope for during a season filled with unknowns.”
